    It's a combination. A Kiwi (I'm a New Zealander) with a shamrock (I'm living in Ireland).

    Not this one! Sitting in my driveway shortly after getting all my hair shaved off.
    I just added a bunch of names to my list. If you see any that you are researching you should check out our sites:

    My father first created the website using the old Ultimate Family Tree software and other researchers started finding him when searching the Internet for surnames he was researching. Within a few years he went from only a few generations of information to now over 40,000 individuals going back to the 16th century.
    We only upgraded to the new website a few months ago, and now do all of the updates online. The site was created with an open source (free) package developed by a group of volunteers. The beauty of it is that it allows many researchers to work on the same line simultaneously. Instead of constantly having to merge other's research into yours, you are all editing the same database, and can download a complete or partial GEDCOM if needed.
    Admittedly, it takes a little bit of computer know-how and a web host to set it up (It helped having a son who is a computer geek), but once it's up and running it works great.
    You can get more information at http://www.phpgedview.net.

    It is possible to set it up on you computer, instead of online, to test it out. Click here for more information.

    Hi! I haven't worked with state prison records, but I know some are on line (really) and some are down in Indianapolis at the state archives. ...The Smiths I'm working on spent most of their lives in Randolph County; his parents were from North Carolina but they did come through Kentucky. I have a charming problem trying to trace their daughter Elizabeth, who may have married another Smith and moved to Iowa in the 1850s.

    Cindy,
    Thank you, I have more to put on and I need to write who they are. I got tired last night when I was doing it and had to get up early for work. I Love my pics and my past family I Love Dearly as my family now. It's very exciting to learn about my past relative and what they did for us to get here.

    I'm sorry there is no match with either name. Sarah Jane was from Illinois.

    Hi Cindy,
    I've not been to our library in awhile. I'll try to remember to check on "The Bully of Seymour" when I go next time.

    I'm descended from and related to the Welsh/Welch families that came in Jamaica, I believe in the early 1700s, after the British conquered Jamaica from the Spaniards in 1655.

    Actually, they are also at the top of my blog at talkingroots.wordpress.com. I got the size for that picture from Wordpress and then opened Paint.net and cut each individual picture to size and made a single picture with each placed side by side in it.

    Thank Cindy must say it took me quite a while to find it but when I saw it I thought it was most appropriate. I always describe my Hobby as like doing a Jigsaw Puzzle. I was actually looking for a comic figure of a femail.
